In general I have found that the current beta version of
Abiword are not yet ready for production use.
1. Some distributions crash on startup.
2. The MS-Word import functionality is medium to poor
3. The MS-Word feature set is very sparse. E.g.
no bullet list, numbered lists.
This is not to say the I'm generally down on the product.
Rather that I tried, but at the present time, it is
still not a package that I can use or give to my users
as a Word-like processor for Unix.
For the interim I am forced to use the StarOffice suite.
I await a more stable and featureful release.
